Инструкция
- In a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, brown the onions and garlic in the oil. Add the spelt and cook for 1 minute, stirring often. Season with salt and pepper. Deglaze with the wine and let reduce until almost dry. Add the broth and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until three-quarters of the liquid has been absorbed and the spelt is cooked but still firm to the bite. Adjust the seasoning. Remove from the heat and set aside.
